Market Vendor Application — INIT 2026

Section 1 — Before You Apply

This isn't a high-volume commercial event. It's a boutique festival on a 67-acre property on Salt Spring Island. If that scale works for your business and your practice — and if what you're bringing feels aligned with what we're building — we want to hear from you.

Booth fees are confirmed upon acceptance. Submitting this form doesn't lock in any pricing.

→ Read the Vendor Policy & Guidelines before applying

Compensation at a Glance

What you contribute
Curated vendor presence across the festival run
What you receive
Booth space + power

Vendors don't pay a fee and instead pay for a festival ticket and vehicle pass. Booth space is confirmed upon acceptance based on setup size, product type, and infrastructure needs.

INIT Vendor Village is a small, curated market on the mountain. Independent makers, product vendors, and service providers who fit the culture of the festival.
